The pro-Palestinian staffers — who wore traditional Arab headscarves as they stormed and occupied the office of a top executive in California on Tuesday — were terminated late Wednesday after an internal investigation, Google vice president of global security Chris Rackow said in a companywide memo.
“They took over office spaces, defaced our property, and physically impeded the work of other Googlers,” Rackow wrote in the memo obtained by The Post. “Their behavior was unacceptable, extremely disruptive, and made co-workers feel threatened.”
The fired staffers are affiliated with a group called No Tech For Apartheid, which has been critical of Google’s response to the Israel-Hamas war.
The protesters have demanded that Google pull out of a $1.2 billion “Project Nimbus” contract — in which Google Cloud and Amazon Web Services provide cloud-computing and artificial intelligence services for the Israeli government and military.
The impacted workers blasted Google over the firings in a statement shared by No Tech For Apartheid spokesperson Jane Chung.
“This evening, Google indiscriminately fired 28 workers, including those among us who did not directly participate in yesterday’s historic, bicoastal 10-hour sit-in protests,” the workers said in the statement.
“Sundar Pichai and Thomas Kurian are genocide profiteers,” the statement added, referring to Google’s CEO and the CEO of its cloud unit, respectively.
“We cannot comprehend how these men are able to sleep at night while their tech has enabled 100,000 Palestinians killed, reported missing, or wounded in the last six months of Israel’s genocide — and counting.” ...

Good riddance to this dreck ...
Is Hamas hiring?
This kind of human garbage should be stuffed in a plane and dumped on Iran
Ha! There’s actually a limit to the childishness that the other children at Google will actually tolerate.
Well say goodbye to your cushy paychecks, and hello to park benches!
This is one instance i can say ‘Good on Google’, but they still suck as a woke company
Besides the posters, they showed how stupid they are by still wearing masks.
HA HA!!
“This is one instance i can say ‘Good on Google’, but they still suck as a woke company”
I agree with you. I am really surprised that they fired these people.
I love this, but I still hate Google. And so should anyone on Free Republic.

Are they that ugly that they ALWAYS have to wear masks?
THAT will be interesting on their resumes.
I suspect they are trying to hide their identity.
Just like the terrorists in Gaza or the West Bank try to hide their identity from the IDF.
Facial recognition software.
Strikes me that Goggle was pretty discriminate in the matter, to be honest. See you in the unemployment lines, kiddies.
COVID isn’t requiring masks anymore.
Guess they are not so sure of their positions???
FACIAL RECOGNITION FOR THE FUTURE???
HERE—MR EMPLOYER—IS YOUR POSSIBLE EMPLOYEE-—GOOD LUCK
What did they think was going to happen? Google would "meet their demands."
Now they can join all the other laid-off tech employees looking for a job. Son told me one opening he saw online for a entry position had 1,000 applicants.
That struck me as well. Morons. Emblematic of the current young, no-nothing generation.
clowns still wearing masks...
I need some help. In the photo, the top middle sign states “we stand with palestinian, arab + muslim ___glers. Any idea what the final word might be? Below are a few possibilities.
I’m leaning towards “wigglers.”

*THAT will be interesting on their resumes.*
May not matter. A bad reference could get the former company sued these days.
*I agree with you. I am really surprised that they fired these people.*
No business can survive with the inmates running the asylum.
*...they showed how stupid they are by still wearing masks.*
Put the 2 together. They know they’ll get fired + any future employer won’t know it’s them.
